ONTR.ACTS were signed In Ihe ol

cently which re united two of thi
undoubted stars of the theatrical work
and Incidentally bridged a gap of eev
sateen years. Bv chance, the con
tracts were signed within a few mln
utes ol each other.
To one was affixed the signature o
Arnold Daly; to the other Nat Good
win. When Jesse Lynch Williams
play, "Why Marry?" Is produced 01
Broadway some time In November b;
Belwyn and Company, theBe two reu
stars of the theatrical world will b(
seen together for the first time slnci
lfOO and for the first time In theli
careers in America.
In 1899, the late Charles Fr&hmar
took Nat Goodwin and Maxlne Ellott
then his wife, to L,ondon to appear it
Clyde Fitch's 'The Cowboy and th(
Girl." Other productions followed ovei
there and then Nat Goodwin became
manager himself in 1900. Ills first bit

Tha other feature of this progran
Is the exciting Civil war story told b;

Beauty. This adaption of Anna Sew
ell's famous story is done with so mucl
interest and charm that it can not fai
to be popular. Peggy Adams, the lit

of the '60s, and Pat O'Malley is sucl
[j? a hero as any gitl would love?or an;
horse, either. "Don Fulaijo" is a beau

New Serial Starts at Dixie.
"The Fighting Trail." a melodramatic
serial of fifteen episodes, each in two
; parts, begins at the Dixie today.
1 The group of episodes of this new
i Vitagrapli serial, picked indiscrlml
nately but showing the first, are
i enough to indicate that the complete
- production will prove to be one of the
i best continuous releases thus far
I placed on the market. It has all the
i ear marks of a sure money maker for
au exumuor, as n win sureiy innuence
i those who see the flrBt episode to fol,
low it to the end. And it leaves nothc
ing to be desired in the to-be-continued
next-week type of picture?thrills in
1 every episode, a connected story that
1 is reasonable and each chapter ends
- with sustained suspense.
3 The basic plot contains enough possii
bilities to be material for the fifteer
r episodes. The story, which was writ
ten by Cyrus Townsend Brady and J.
i Stuart Blackton, concerns the attempt
1 to wrest the posses; ion of a mine from
r its rightful owners by a band of crim
inals, headed by and in the employ of a
- German secret agent, whose belligerent
; desire for the mine lies in the fact that
it Is the source of a mineral that is invaluable
in the manufacture of a newly
invented high explosive. Bach episode
consists of some new plot to do
away with the owners of the mine, who
' are giving its prdduct to tho United
i States and the thril's are mostly miraculous
escapes from the traps laid by
. the conspirators.
This serial has no one outstanding
> feature. It is good all the way through
| and so evenly balanced that it would
be difficult to select any one point as
t better than another

The wandering.; and adventures ot
Philip Nolan, " he first American
slacker," are depicted on a lavish

are driven home in a forceful, thrilling

is a production that will do much
to arouse patriotic sentiment, and to
offset whatever ot slacker sentiment
may bo found. No one can view this
remarkable production without a quickening
of his patriotism, and a resolve
to do Just a little bit for the country
that he loves.
